Original series [edit]

The world of King's Quest encompasses many different kingdoms and supernatural realms. The main characters in the series are King Graham, originally a knight of Daventry who won the throne of the kingdom through questing, and members of his family: his wife Queen Valanice and his twin son and daughter, Prince Alexander and Princess Rosella. The exception is King's Quest: Mask of Eternity, where the protagonist is Connor of Daventry, a tanner (and a knight like Graham from the first game) who is unrelated to the imperial family. The later sequels take more than elaborate story lines, more complicated puzzles, and more original and well-developed characters.

Technologically, the series pioneered the use of animation and pseudo-3D environments in graphic adventure games, so that the main grapheme could, for example, walk behind objects on-screen.[three] The primary fashion in which characters solve puzzles and accelerate through the game is by using items found before in the game and stored in their inventory. Other puzzles include the mapping of labyrinths, deserts, or other inhospitable places; solving riddles; and tasks involving the utilize of logic or lateral thinking skills. It is important to utilize all one's graphic symbol'due south senses to assemble all the information available: look, listen, smell, taste, or touch whenever possible.

The Quest [edit]

The "King'southward Quest" (for which the series takes its name) usually involves becoming a rex or the adventures of members of the royal family of Daventry in other lands to salvage their kingdom. Often, the quest is given to the protagonist through the realm's magic mirror (the get-go game involves obtaining the magic mirror, which becomes an important feature in the later games).

In King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown, the young knight Sir Graham is sent by the dying King Edward on a quest to destroy the wicked witch Dahlia and find three treasures in social club to become the new king. In Male monarch'due south Quest II: Romancing the Throne, the quest is for Male monarch Graham to notice his queen. Through the magic mirror, retrieved in the first game, he learns of the beautiful Valanice captured past the witch Hagatha in the land of Kolyma.

The follow-ups King'due south Quest 3: To Heir Is Human being and King's Quest 4: The Perils of Rosella do not star Graham, simply involve the protagonists who ultimately end up saving the king and/or the kingdom from threats such every bit a dragon and untimely expiry. Gwydion begins every bit a peasant of Llewdor and a slave of the wizard Manannan; he escapes by using the wizard's magic against him, and ultimately discovers he is really Alexander, long-lost son of Rex Graham and Queen Valanice and blood brother of the Princess Rosella. Later on Alexander restores the magic mirror and saves Rosella and the kingdom from the ravages of the dragon, Graham is taken deathly ill; to obtain a cure for her father, Rosella must travel to the fairy country of Tamir (subsequently learning about it through the magic mirror) and shell the witch Queen Lolotte.

Male monarch'south Quest 5: Absence Makes the Heart Become Yonder! returns to the Male monarch in his attempt to rescue both his kingdom and family from Mordack, Hagatha'due south and Manannan's brother and also an evil sorcerer, who is seeking revenge confronting Alexander for Manannan's downfall, in the land of Serenia. This is the first game that does not include the magic mirror.

King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow follows Prince Alexander's attempt to save his true love, marry her, and ultimately becoming the king of the Land of the Green Isles. The magic mirror pointed him in the right direction to finding the kingdom.

King'due south Quest Seven: The Princeless Helpmate is the only game in the series that does non involve King Graham (he is missing entirely from the story), Castle Daventry, or saving the kingdom of Daventry (only a small-scale portion of the land is shown briefly in the introduction), nor the magic mirror. Rather, the plot involves the dual protagonists Queen Valanice and Princess Rosella attempting to save the realm of Eldritch from the evil enchantress Malicia. Rosella ultimately finds a romantic involvement in Prince Edgar, whom she rescues with the implication that they may marry in the future.

King'southward Quest: Mask of Eternity [four] is similar to King's Quest I, in that it involves a young knight attempting to save King Graham (who stands in place of Edward), Queen Valanice, and the kingdom of Daventry from harm. Over again the magic mirror shares a prominent role in telling of the doom that befell the kingdom.

Development [edit]

Much of King's Quest was inspired by fairy tales, which designer Roberta Williams loved reading,[5] in item the Andrew Lang's Fairy Books.[6] Many creatures, characters and situations from world mythologies, fairy tales, folklore and archetype literature are encountered within the world of King's Quest. Many of the puzzle solutions are inspired by diverse tales so that a role player with knowledge of the stories beforehand would have an advantage.

The concept of the King's Quest series was derived from ideas starting time established in Wizard and the Princess (Take chances in Serenia) which was an early forerunner of the serial.[vii] The game versions followed the exploits of an unnamed hero known only as the "wanderer", in subsequently versions said to be a time traveler from the future. The game'due south connection to the King's Quest serial led to its inclusion every bit one of the King'south Quest trivia questions.[8] The fifth King's Quest game marked a return to Serenia, the land first seen during the game. The game's backstory was further tied into the King's Quest history through The Male monarch'due south Quest Companion. According to the Companion, in diverse periods of history people from the real world withdrew to Daventry, which explains how historical and mythical elements be there.[9] In most of the series, information technology is said that the games have identify, 'a long time agone' a few centuries in our by.[10]

Many of the classic Sierra games series had in-jokes, cameos, or homages to characters, situations and elements of the King's Quest serial. Cedric from KQV was oft the brunt of several jokes found in Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist, Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness, and Infinite Quest VI. Rosella has appeared in or was mentioned in the Leisure Adapt Larry series, Police Quest II, and Quest for Glory series. Graham is mentioned in or appears in several of the Space Quest, Constabulary Quest, and Laura Bow games.

Cancelled games [edit]

King'due south Quest Two & III remakes [edit]

In 1990 the developers at Sierra redeveloped King's Quest with a new interface and upwardly-to-appointment technology. The plan was to redevelop King's Quest Ii and King's Quest III [eighteen] merely due to rather disappointing sales of the 1990 remake of Male monarch's Quest I, the prospect of officially remaking and re-releasing the sequels was scrapped.

Davidson version of Male monarch'south Quest Viii [edit]

Between September 1996 to January 21, 1997, due to bourgeois criticism over the content[ commendation needed ] in Rex'southward Quest: Mask of Eternity and Phantasmagoria past Davidson & Associates, a team of managers was assigned to work in a higher place Roberta Williams. They began creating their own version of KQVIII while ignoring her version. Their version was purged of combat, violence and mayhap religious themes[ citation needed ].[nineteen] While Williams continued to work on her own ideas including its own script and puzzles, the Davidson's team of managers began to design their script and puzzles for their own version of KQVIII. Davidson's intervention was ultimately stopped (Davidson left the visitor in January 1997[twenty] [21]) and Williams reasserted her control, but this was not without its damage to her version of the game's terminal release (due to loss of time and funding), which was already pain from other technical problems caused by Dynamix engine development problem and others.

Cancelled Sequels [edit]

There accept been several attempts to create a ninth installment in the Rex's Quest series, all of which have been cancelled earlier going into production. All three development attempts never went past proclamation or concept stages nor received official titles. They were described as the next game in the "King'south Quest" franchise in known released information. King's Quest nine or Kings's Quest IX are more than unofficial designation for beingness the next game in the franchise used by the media in regards to released information. The thought of a King'southward Quest 9 goes dorsum to some of the discussions with Roberta Williams later the release of Male monarch's Quest: Mask of Eternity.[22]

The King'due south Quest: Mask of Eternity Prima's Official Strategy Guide past Rick Barba made reference to King'due south Quest Ix as the side by side title in the series if a new 1 was made (or at to the lowest degree as a description of the 9th game in the series).[23] Roberta Williams offered a few ideas for a Male monarch'south Quest IX in 1998-1999, her version never saw development. The ninth game has been in development 4 times since and so with three different developers, Vivendi Games, Silicon Knights, and Telltale Games between 2001 and 2013, and somewhen The Odd Gentlemen rebooted the series in 2015.

Roberta Williams/Sierra [edit]

Following the release of Male monarch's Quest VIII (Mask of Eternity), Roberta Williams occasionally alluded to ideas if she was allowed to make the follow-up game or ideas that would influence the direction of any follow-up games, or ideas that were cut during the process of KQVIII that she would take liked to have introduced in the post-obit game. Though she was generally tightlipped on the subject when it came to the adjacent game, there are a few details. These never evolved into anything, nonetheless, and the game was neither started nor cancelled.[22]

Primarily it was decided during the production of KQVIII that Graham was at present too sometime to proceed adventures, and that Alexander would be less likely to go on adventures equally he at present had his own concerns as male monarch of the Green Isles. This led to Roberta introducing a new playable character into the serial (which started with Connor), which probably would have had like affect in future games in the series had she had the run a risk to develop them.[24] Williams was withal potentially a possibility for use in futurity games, and she tossed out the idea that Connor might even meet the princess.[25] This thought grew to include the idea that Rosella would mayhap fall in love with Connor, or Connor would fall in love with Rosella and initiate some kind of love triangle between them and Rosella's other love interest, Edgar (KQIV/KQVII).[24] In addition she had ideas to add together multiplayer as early on equally KQVIII early development, but these were cutting and she hoped to introduce them into futurity games in the series. Some of the ideas were an MMO (massive multiplayer online) adventure game, with the power for players to collect and bandy items to help each other solve puzzles,[26] or fight monsters together.[24] [27]

Vivendi Games [edit]

There was a ninth installment in development past Vivendi Games (under the Sierra branding) betwixt 2001 and 2002. It was cancelled before going into product. The game never made it by the image phase. Images of two renders of the playable character were leaked to the public.[28] The renders evidence what looks like an older and bearded Male monarch Graham, wielding a behemothic sword, wearing full armor, and having the ability to flip in the air, suggesting that it may have been a 3rd-person action-take a chance game, similar to the 3D Fable of Zelda games. This, similar later attempts at producing a new game, were described as the new King's Quest, and not necessarily KQIX (though news media referred to it as King'southward Quest 9).

Silicon Knights [edit]

Silicon Knights worked on a prototype for a King's Quest game at some bespeak before Telltale Games acquired the rights. This information was released to the public through documents on the Silicon Knights adjust against Epic Games.[29]

Telltale Games [edit]

Telltale Games' take on the ninth installment of the King's Quest franchise was starting time announced at a press event on February 17, 2011.[30] Telltale said that they had entered into an agreement with Activision, then current owner of the rights to the archetype Sierra On-Line adventure franchises, to create new episodic games based on those serial. The first Sierra intellectual belongings they intended to work on was Rex'south Quest.[31] As development never went far, the game never received a title beyond the reference to the franchise name.

The game was to follow the format of previous Telltale Games serial such as Tales of Monkey Island, as a continuation of the series with all new episodic games and multiple serial.[32] [33] It was intended to preserve the back story of King's Quest, and fit into the established canon. It was intended to include the challenge and possibilities of expiry of the original games, but the gameplay was going to be adapted to relieve some of the frustration present in the original games.[33]

Telltale approached Roberta Williams, the originator of the serial, and one of the designers on all of the original games, to see if she was interested in working on the new one. While she declined past saying she had retired from games, she did offer the development team advice, which was "very valuable", co-ordinate to developer Dave Grossman.[34] [35] In May 2012, Dan Connors confirmed that Dave Grossman was in charge of the King's Quest project, and Telltale was working on how to proceed.[36] The game was confirmed to be cancelled by Telltale senior vice president of publishing, Steve Allison, on Apr 3, 2013.[37]

Fan-created games [edit]

There have been several fan-created King'due south Quest games both original and retellings of the original games that have been released by various developers. Mike and Matt Chapman, creators of the Homestar Runner series of cartoons and games, have created a game known as Peasant's Quest, more often than not based on King's Quest I but with allusions throughout the game to King'southward Quest II, Male monarch'due south Quest III, King'due south Quest IV, and The Black Cauldron.

Reception [edit]

In 1996, Next Generation listed the serial as number 79 on their "Meridian 100 Games of All Fourth dimension", commenting that, "humor, story telling, and classic puzzle implementation make the Male monarch'south Quest serial the most consequent superlative-quality line-up in computer gaming'due south history".[38]

By 1994, the series had sold 2.5 one thousand thousand copies, making information technology the best-selling computer game series at that time.[39] By 1997, the serial had sold 7 million copies.[40]
